If you like being the executive secretary or the administrative assistant, the job can lead you to a good opportunity to achieve the high position and excellent earning, for example, if the boss was promoted to a higher position and he needed someone to replace his position, the majority of the boss would considered his executive secretary or the administrative assistant as the first choice (in the case that he liked his secretary and she was a capable person). However, some disadvantage of this job is that the years of working are short as most of the male managers or managing directors prefer young and pretty secretaries or administrative assistants. Some of them give the reasons that the young people are obedient than the older ones so there will be less conflicts at work and the pretty executive secretaries or the administrative assistants will make the office atmosphere become cheerful atmosphere working place (it may be their joke). The international secretarial college that I graduated, aimed to teach the students to be the efficient secretaries as the first video, however, after the graduation, the secretaries may not work as same as the first video in the real offices. When I graduated, I work in the gemstone company. During that time (about 25 years ago), there was no internet and the people who could work with the computers were the people who graduated with the computer degrees only as the operating system was DOS which required a lot of memorization for each instruction. It was not easy like the present time which has the Windows as the operating system. My job responsibilities were not the same with the first video, as the company wanted to be online with the overseas servers to communicate with the USA customers, and it was very difficult to find someone who graduated in that field. At that time, the U.S. business companies already had the computers online communication like internet in the present time but there were no standard servers settings. Each U.S. business company server had to rent the server from the U.S. military and set their own setting which was difficult for each server to be able to communicate to each other. The gemstone company that I worked with let me try, with the help of the CAT (The communication authority of Thailand) technicians on the phone; we had to use the CAT server and there was the customer support via the phone only.) and when we wanted to contact each server, we had to test with each overseas server whether it worked or not, if it did not work, the CAT technicians would help with the computer programing language on the phone. I had to spend a lot of time to read a lot of computer books just only to be able to understand what the technicians said and we were lucky enough to be able to online with the Polygon server, online with the MCI mails server for e-mail services and online with the AGMS server for e-mails and gemstone online real-time appraisals. The cost of online was expensive as we had to pay to the CAT and each U.S. server, and there was no privacy as anything appeared on the company computer's screen would be appeared on the CAT computer screen too. The internet charges at present time is much cheaper, faster and less headache than the olden time.
